At this point, the lame duck US house Republicans need to show some spine.
If they capitulate to Harry Reid one last time, giving him both another continuing resolution and agreeing to raise the debt limit, it will be two more years of continuing resolutions and raising the debt limit. There will be several more quantitative easings.
Right now the United States faces a bad depression. If the Republicans play along, the result in two years will be worse than three Great Depressions rolled into one.
By acting now, and refusing to play along “just one more time”, the results will be harsh. But two years is a long time, or can be a long time, and though the Republicans will be viciously attacked at first, the public will finally be forced to see that the emperor has no clothes.
They will see that he is *not* a dictator, that he *cannot* endlessly produce largess from future generations, and that all his schemes and villainies and cheats are just that, gimmicks that have made a bad situation awful.
He and his kind crave revolution, so let them taste the people’s revolution utterly crushing the Democrats for 50 or 100 years.
